The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) is intensifying its investigation into a string of robberies that have unsettled communities across the Territory, as detectives close in on what they believe to be a coordinated criminal network.
The series of incidents — spanning from Long Bay, Beef Island, to Pier Park, Tortola — has prompted an island-wide response from law enforcement. According to Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police Dariel Robinson, investigators have confirmed that a vehicle stolen during the robbery in Long Bay was later used in the Oasis incident.
The RVIPF is also probing robberies at Touchdown Bar and La Cachet. Officers are reviewing CCTV footage and awaiting ballistic and forensic test results to determine whether weapons recovered from suspects are linked to the crimes. “Our detectives are working around the clock to bring those responsible to justice,” Robinson said. “We are confident that the evidence being gathered will lead to key breakthroughs.
These incidents have our highest priority.” In a separate development, detectives from the Criminal Investigations Department arrested two males in connection with a July robbery report at Pier Park, Tortola. Both individuals were interviewed and released pending further investigation.
Police have urged the public to come forward with any information that could assist in solving the ongoing cases.

Throughout the day, the team made strategic adjustments to adapt to the changing conditions. Starting with the J3 jib for the first few races, they switched to the J2 jib for later races, maintaining consistent performance. Particularly noteworthy were their starts and the first windward mark roundings, where the team matched up well against the top contenders in the field. Although Charisma and Aleph Racing battled it out for the title, newer teams like GeMera and Lanzarote Calero Sailing Team used the final race to refine their coordination and continue gaining experience.

Looking ahead, the Lanzarote Calero Sailing Team is now focused on the next stop of the 44Cup circuit in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, scheduled for May 15-18, 2025. With key learnings from Nanny Cay, the team is eager to make further strides, especially with the anticipation of racing with their own boat in Porto Cervo.

“We’ve completed a very demanding event, facing some of the world’s best crews. While the results don’t yet reflect our full potential, we leave with invaluable experience and the certainty that with our own boat at the next event, we will be able to compete under better conditions,” said tactician Alfredo González.

As the 44Cup continues to grow, the Lanzarote Calero Sailing Team remains committed to using the competition as a platform for talent development, combining experienced sailors with promising young prospects. With their new boat designed specifically to meet their needs, the team aims to close the gap and emerge as a stronger contender in future events, including the overall standings.
